We shine a light on the best projectors for your home cinema
Worthy of an A-lister, Gentleman's Journal round up the top tech for screening films, sports and gaming
Projectors were once the preserve of your alluring local cinema and your not-so-alluring geography classroom. But, today, these increasingly smart gadgets come fit for home use, boasting special features for everything from panoramic gaming to streaming live sports on your roof terrace.
We can’t think of a better way to spend a long summer evening than relaxing with a glass of our favourite wine as a film is projected on the wall.
The super bright projector: Nebula Mars
Days are long at this time of year, and sometimes waiting for the sun to go down isn’t always an option. So don’t compromise, and use this super bright Nebula Mars projector any time of day, whether you’re catching an early kick-off or enjoying a matinee movie screening outdoors.
Nebula’s extra-bright Mars projector casts up to 300 inches of HD video in 3000 lumens compared to a standard projector’s 1000 lumens. Partnered with its market-leading Anker battery, the Mars promises up to three hours of non-stop cinema — ideal for streaming movies or watching live sports al fresco.
The connected projector: Optoma ML330
There’s nothing more frustrating than your device dropping out of signal or power just as a movie reaches its climax or your game gets really intense. But there’s no need to worry now, with the Optoma ML330 and its built-in WiFi capability.
No unnecessary wires, fuss, or leaving your phone out of reach while you put your feet up. Mirror your phone or tablet’s screen without the need for cables, and use Bluetooth to hook up speakers, headphones, or even a keyboard and mouse.
The pocket-sized projector: RIF6 Cube
We live in a world where we are constantly on the move. From meetings on the other side of town to popping round to your neighbours for a BBQ. This shrunken projector is perfect in any situation with great quality and unparalleled mobility.
The tiny RIF6 Cube is just two inches square and weighs less than 150 grams. Designed with mobile tech in mind, this compact projector pairs with phones, tablets or even games consoles. Use the extra-flexible tripod to cast film or TV onto the ceiling for a cinema experience with a difference.
Once you’ve watched the films feel like you’re in them with this movie memorabilia auction happening in a few weeks time…
